About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, future meteorologist! Ready to take on the challenge of predicting the weather? In "The Daily Weather," you step into the shoes of a rookie in the field, tasked with arranging the weather map so that only the current day and month are visible, along with the day's weather pattern. Sounds simple, right? But here's the twist: you need to use the actual date and season to determine the unique setup for the game. That's where the overlapping cards come in, creating a visual puzzle as you assemble the day's scenario. The goal is to be as accurate as possible, and the more effective your forecast, the more points you earn. It's a super quick solo game, perfect for those moments when you want a mental challenge without investing a lot of time. Think of it as a fast-paced, thematic puzzle where every move counts towards deciphering the unpredictable weather. Ideal for those who enjoy quick-thinking games and have a spare moment to fill. The Print & Play version is a lifesaver for anyone eager to jump right in!
